*imagine johnny in his 30s. 1995?*
My best friend set me up on a blind date with a guy called rickey at the bowling alley in town. I love my friend to pieces but rickey? Rickey went to the same school as me but I had never seen him before. Lucky thing I didn't because he was a complete jerk! He had short blond hair and blue eyes and a long face. His dress sense was terrible and he still wore his jock jacket a year after high school finished.
Anyway, he was trying to act all cool telling me I was terrible at bowling and that he would give me private lessons?! "I'm okay thanks" I kept assuring him. I decided to get some space away from this creep so I asked him "do you want a drink? I'm going to the bar now?" He carried on checking the scores on the board and picking the perfect bowling ball. "Yeah, a extra dry martini, shaken not stirred" I rolled my eyes walking away to the bar.
As I walked up to bar, on my right was a slim young man drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette while reading a magazine. "Can I have a beer and a dry martini please?" I asked the bartender. I gave a surprisingly long and loud sigh. I covered my mouth quickly and looked down at the floor. "Rough night?" Said a unknown voice. I looked around and discovered it was the man sitting to my right. "Yeah, my friend set me up with this awful blind date" I replied. The man looked up and I could see his long dark hair along with his chocolatey eyes and many tattoos. "That's too bad." He laughed "what's your name?" He asked taking a puff from his cigarette. "I'm Chloe. And what might yours be?" I replied
"Oh I'm Johnny. " He smiled. I thought I recognised his face but I'm not sure where
"Nice to meet you Johnny."
I shook his hand. He sat up in his seat. "I tell you what, I'll come over there in 10 minutes and help you get out of that date?" He gestured. "Oh my god that would be amazing! but how?" I said beaming from ear to ear. "You'll see. " He winked. My drinks still weren't ready so I went to the ladies room to freshen up. I looked at myself in the mirror wearing my white tank top tucked into a black miniskirt with some white knee high socks and my black Mary Jane heels. I'd consider myself quite tall for a 19 year old but I still wore heels. Heels are sexy. I stepped out the bathroom after fixing my hair and clothes and checking if anything was in my teeth. Because you have to have a wonderful smile, not a smile with bits of spinach in between your teeth.
I got the drinks and johnny winked at me. I started blushing walking back to my 'date'. Rickey took the drink and said nothing to me, still checking the scores.
Sure enough 5 minutes later johnny comes stomping over with an angry look on his face. "CHLOE." I argued.
"Oh no, johnny.." I look towards rickey looking at johnny with the most terrified look on his face. "Whose taking care of the kids?" He said with a concerned look on his face. I couldn't help myself from smirking "I DONT KNOW JOHNNY. "
"I told you a million times, if you're going to cheat on me. Don't let it be on my bowling night!" he took my hand and lead me outside. We burst out laughing. "I can't believe you just did that!" i exclaimed wiping a tear from under my eye. "Did you see his face though?!" He laughed as he shot his head back and clapped. Finally, he lead me to his car.
*tell me if you like it and if I should carry on?*
